Abstract

The Radiological “Special” to the Congress Albert Soiland , M.D. Excerpt To Dr. B. H. Orndoff great credit is due for the happy culmination of an epochal journey participated in by 60-odd members of the Radiological Society of North America in attendance upon the Second International Congress of Radiology at Stockholm. There is only one note of regret, in that so few of our members availed themselves of the opportunity to combine, at such a modest cost, one of the most interesting and scenic journeys on earth with the most outstanding radiological congress the world has yet seen. The tour began with ten happy and frolicsome days aboard the Norwegian-American liner Stavangerfjord , a steamship commanded by a true Viking, Captain Irgens, in which good food, good fun, and good fellowship predominated.
